BY ALFRED TENNYSON, You must wake and call me early, call mo early, mother dear; To-morrow ’ill be the happiest time of all the glad Now-Year; Of all the glad New-Yenr, mother, the maddest, merriest day; For I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May. There’s many a blade, black eye, they say, but none so bright as mine; There's Margaret and Mary, there's Kate and Caroline; But none so fair ns little Alice in all the land, they say; So I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to bo Queen o’ the May. I sleep so sound all night, mother, that I shall never wake, If you do not call mo loud when the clAy begins , to break; But I must gather knots of flowers, and buds ami garlands gay, For I’m to bo Queen o’ the May, mother, I in to bo Queen o’ the May, As J came up the valley, whom think ye should I see, But Robin leaning on the bridge beneath the hazellree? Ho thought of that sharp look, mother, I gave him yesterday,— But I’m to bo Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to bo Queen o' the May. He thought I was a ghost, mother, for I was all in white, And I ran by him without speaking, like a flash of light. They call me cruel-honrtod, but 1 care not what they say, For I'm to be Queen o'the May, mother, I'm to bo Queen o' the May. They say lie’s dying all for love, but Hint can never be. They say his heart is breaking, mother—what Is that to mo ? There's many a bolder lad 'll! woo me any sum- mer day, Ami I'm to be Queen o* the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May. VII. Little Elbe shall go with me to-morrow to the green, All you’ll bo there, too, mother, to see mo made the Queen: For the shepherd lads on every side ’ill come from far away, And I'm to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May. VIII. The honeysuckle round the porch lias woven its wavy bowers, And by the meadow-trenches blow the faint sweet cuckoo-flowers; And the wild marsh-marigold shines like Are in swamps and hollows gray, And I’m to he Queen o’ the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May. The night-windjfeomo and go, mother, upon the meadow grass, And flic happy stars above them seeip to bright en ns they pass; There will not bn a drop of rain the whole of the livelong day, And I'm to bo Queen o' the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o' the May. All the valley, mother, 'll! be fresh and green and still, And the cowslip and the crowfoot arc over all the hill, And the rivulet in the flowery dale ’ill merrily glance and play, For I’m to bo Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May, So you must wake and call me early, call me car ly, mother dear, To-morrow ’ll! bo the happiest time ofall the glad Now-Year : To-morrow ’III he of all the year the maddest merriest day, For I’m to bo Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to ho Queen o’ the May. JOSH BILLL\(iS ON COURTING, Courting is.%luxury, it is ico water, It is the pin spell uv the .sole. The man who has never courted has lived in vain. He has been a blind man among land scapes, he has been a dell'man in the land of hand-organs, and by the side of mur muring canals. Courting is like two lit tle springs of water that starts out from under a rook at the foot uv a mountain, and runs down hill side by side, singing, dancing spattering each other eddying and frothing and kaskeding, now hiding, under the bank, now full uv shudder, by emby they jine, and they go slow. lam in favor uv long courting; it gives the parties a chance to find out' each other’s cards. It is good exercise, and is as innocent as 2 merino lambs. Courting is like strawberries and cream —wants to be did slow, then you havegot the flavor. Ihavoseenfolksgetacquaiu ted, fall in luv, get married, settle down and get to work, in three weeks from date. This is the wa sura folks lain a trade — akounts for the great number almighty mean mechanics and poor jobs they' turn out. Perhaps it is best X should state sum good advice to young men about to court with a view to matrimony, as it was. In the fust place, young men, you want to gotyure system awl right, then find a young woman who is willing to courted on the square. The next thing is to find out how old she is, wieh you can do by asking her, and she will sa she is 19 years old, and this you will find won’t be far out of the wa. The next thing is to begin moderate ; say once in every night in the week for the first six moutbs, increasing the dose as the pashent seems to require. It is a fust rate way to court the girl’s mother a little on the start, for there is one thing a woman never despises, and there Is a little good courtin if it is done on the square. After the fust year you will begin to get acquainted, and begin to like the biz ness. There is one thing I always advise, and that is not to swop fortygraphs ofteuor then onset evry 10 daze unless you forgot how the gal looks. Ookasioually yu want to look sorry and draw in your wind as you had a pain : this will sot the girl to toezihg you to find out what ails you. Evening meeting are a good tiling to tend. It will keep your religeou in time, and if yure gal happens to he there, hi accident, she can ask yu tu go home with her. As a general thing, I woodeu’t brag on other girls much when I was courtin. It might look astho yu kuu tew much. If you con itoven three weeks in this wa, all the time on the square, if you don’t say it is (lie sleekest time of your life, you can go to the “ Young America” cheap store and get measured for a plug .hat at my expense and pay for it. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1866. A BUNDLE OF ALL SORTS. Woman—an essay on grace in one vol ume, elegantly bound. Keep the eyes wide open before marri age and half shut afterwards. A Canter will give you ruddy cheeks; a decanter a ruddy nose. When is .a man thinner than a lath? When he’s a-shavin’. Death comes to a good man to relieve him ; it comes to a bad one to relievo so ciety. ' It has been asked, when rain falls does it ever get up again ? Of course it does, in dew time. A Yankee has just taught ducks to swim in hot water with such success that they lay boiled eggs. AVhex a man is saddled with a bad wife there is sure to bo stir-ups in the family. Why is a dog lying with his nose to his tail, an emblem of economy? Be caso ho makes both ends meet. What is the difference between Char on’s boat and an old lien? One is a foul old wherry : tho other, a wery old fowl. 11 Toby, what di lie Isralitcs do when they crossed tho Bed. Sea?” “I dont know, ma’am, but I guess they dried themselves. Mrs. Joxks declares that the only way a traveler can avoid being in railroad collisions, no w-a-days is to take tho other train. A charity scholar under examination on the Psalms, being asked “ What is the pestilence that walketh in darkness?” replied, “ Please, sir, bed bugs." The winning post to the race of life is a slab of while or grey stone, standing out from that turf where there is no more jockeying. A Fasilioxahle young lady detatch itig her hair before retiring; “ AA’hat dreams may come when we-have shuffled ofl’this mortal roii /” A.v exchange, describing a celebration, says, ‘‘ The procession was very lino and nearly two miles in length, as was also tho prayer of Hr. Perry, the chaplain.” “ 1 am glad this coffee don’t owe me anything,” said a book-keeper to his wife theothcrmorningutbreakfnst. “ Why?” was the response. “ because I don’t be lieve it would ever settle.” A doctok gave a precription to a lady a few days ago as follows :—“ A now bon net, a Cashmere shawl, and a' pair of gaiter boots.” The lady recovered im mediately'. Never. look at the girls. They can’t bear it; they' regard it as an insult. They’ wear their feathers, furbelows, and frills merely to gratify their mammas, that’s all. ' A Yorxci lady remarked that she could not understand what her brother George saw in the girls, that he liked them so well; and that for her part, she would not give the company of one young man for that of twenty girls. A tjiue woman can always find some thing to take hold of. Her love is a very' wild flower that will grow in the crevices of the roughest rocks, and even there send down a root that the wind cannot dislodge, nor the drought wither. “ Pap, I planted some potatoes in our pardon,” said one of the smart youths of tliis generation to his father, “ and what do you suppose came up'.”' “Why, pota toes, of course.” “No sir! Them came up a drove of hogs and ale (hem all.” Tlie “ old man” gave in. Tir.U'KHRV tells of an Irish woman beg ging alms of him who, when she saw him put his hand in ins pocket, cried out, “ Slay the blcssng of God follow you all your life,” but when he pulled but his snuff box, immediately added —“and never overtake ye.” “Guilty or not guilty?” sharply said a city judge, the other day, to an inatten tive female prisoner in the dock. “Just as your honor pleases. It's not for the like.o’ mo to dictate to your honor’s wor ship,” was tlie reply. Ft is said to he dangerous to be work ing with a sewing machine near a window when there is a thunder storm. It is al so dangerous to be sitting near some sew ing machines when there is no thunder storm. A nov tills his pipe, and he sees only tlie tobacco; but I see going into that pipe, brains, books, time health, money, prospects. Tlie pipe is tilled at last, and a light is struck ; and things which are priceless arc carelessly puffed away in smoke. H.unics resemble wheat. First, neith er are good for much till they arrive at maturity; second, both are bred in tlie house, and are also the flower of the fam ily ; third, both have to be cradled; fourth, both have fo lie thrashed .before they are done. Cheerful. —Artcmus Ward, in des cribing his journey from California, says: “ The driver with whom I sat outside in formed me, as we slowly rolled down the fearful mountain road which looks down on either side into an appalling ravine, that ho had mot accidents in his time that cost the California Stage Company a great dealofmoney, “ because,” said ho, “juries is agin us on principle, and every man who sues us is sure to recover. Butitwill never be so agin, not with me, you bet!” “How is that?” I said. It was fright fully dark. It was snowing withal, and notwithstanding tlie brakes were kept hard down, the coach slewed wildly, often fairly touching the brink of the black precipice, “ How is that?” I said, “Why, you see,” he replied, “ that corpses never sue for damages, but maimed people do. And the next time Thave an overturn, I shall go round and keerfully examine the passengers. Them as is dead I shall lot alone; but them as is mutilated I shall Finish with the king bolt! Head folks don’t sue. They ain’t on it.” Thus, with anecdote did this driver cheer mo ua.

Don’t I want ajewsharp just as well as lie want ed a cane ? Wonder what makes papa tell such nice stories about hiding the master’s rattan when he went to school, and about his running away from the school mis tress when she was going to whip him, then shut me up all day in a dark room because I tried just once to be as smart as lie was ? Wonder what made papasay that wick deword when Betsy upset the ink all over his papers, and then slapped my ears be cause I said the same thing when my kite string broke ? Wonder why mamma told Bridget the other day to say that she was not at home, when Tommy Day’s mother called, ami thou put me to bed without my supper every night I tell a lie ? Oh, dear ! there are lots of things I want to know. How I wish I was a man! SPEECH OF SENATOR COWAN, Delivered nt an Idiiiioiinc Mnnn JHcclinc, In (lie City llnll. WnHliingrtoii. I>. t\, in Sup* port of President Johnson** Policy, Tlie honorable Senator was greeted with loud and continued applause. Leaning forward, he said : How are you? There are a good many of you down there. I have been expecting you for sometime. [Laughter.] What did vou come for?— [Laughter, and a voice—” Eight hours a aay.’’] Well, it'is rather a late hour for that. My friends, I have been speaking this afternoon a good deal, and I shall de tain you to say a few words only. I ask ed you what you were here for. 1 went homej fow days ago, and when witlyn twenty-live miles of my destination I metalloid farmer in the cars, who sa}d to mo : “ Cowax, hmv are you getting on in Washington?” “Not very well.”— Said he, “ What the devil is tho matter? Why don’t tho Union restore ? What is wrong?” Going on a little further, I met an old soldier, who made the same in quiry: “What is the reason the Union won’t restore.' ’Didn’t we whip those fol lows down there ? Didn’t we make those fellows laydown their arms and obey tho laws?” “Certainly.” “Then what is -the reason the Union won’t restore?”— Further on I met an old fellow, with a long purse and a good many bonds. Said he: “Cowax, wimt is wrong? I loaned tliis government a good deal of money to carry on the war, and what is tho reason tho Union won’t restore?” Now, that is a tremendous question. Think of it. A parcel of bad people in 1800-01 undertook to destroy this Union. We resisted, as we had a right to do, on the ground Unit we had tho right to make everybody obey the Constitution and the laws. But there was another thing we said at the same time. We said this is not a movement of the people. It is a move ment of politicians and demagogues, who want to rule or ruin the nation. Why? Did this nation over hurt anybody ? Nev er. There is not a man who could say ho had a single grievance to redress or a single wrong to avenge. Not one.— It was a movement of demagogues who took advantage of tho election of some body tlie people did not wdnt in thc.South, of tlie excitement of tlie moment to carry those States out of tlie Union. AVe said, therefore, this is not the work of tlie peo ple. We must go down and rescue tlie people, and take them out of the clutches of these follows, who would drive them to their own ruin. AA T e had a right to do that, and we made ail that terrible war, not to punish the people, not to oppress to make slaves of them, but to rescue them from the power of tlie rebellion in to which they had been drawn. AA’c succeeded in that, and the people were thankful. They all agreed to lay down their arms, come back and he good sub jects. Are not they doing that now? — Have you heard of any resistance to the Government since the surrender of the rebel army? Tho President himself, a few days ago, issued a proclamation that all was quiet, not only along tho Polo mac, but everywhere else. [Laughter and cheers.] The people, beaten in war, desiredagain to enjoy the benefits tho Union conferred upon them. But they cannot have them, and what is the reason ? Why my elo quent friend who last addressed you has told you what tho reason was. .Radical ism is the reason. And my friends, what reason does it bring? AA’h'at idol Joes it worship? AVorship? AA’hat star does it follow? AVhat Hag does it march under? Radicalism will not let tho Union restore. When the people ask why you do not re store the Union tho reply is, “Oh no; not yet.” AVhy not? AVhat’s wrong? The negro must vote; that's tho whole of it. [Laughter, and cries of “ Thatfu it.”] These fellows at tho Capitol will restore it to-morrow if you will allow the negro to vote in the .South, a question with which wo have nothing whatever to do. If they want to argue the question, let them go up into Pennsylvania, Tho ne gro does not vote there. [“Not a bit of ' it.”] If they want to argue the question, let them go out to Illinois. Tho negro does not vote (here. If they want to ar gue it, let them go to New York. He docs not vote there unless he is a wealthy darkey. [Great Laughter.] Let them go into Massachusetts and argue it there. Mo does not vote there unless he is a lit erary darkey. [Continued laughter.] My friends, X repeat that wo in Con gress have nothing whatever to do with this question in the Slates more than you people in the District of Columbia have. The States which formed this Union are free Slates. They were free States when they made the Union, and they are free States yo|, It was tho pride a nil glory of our fathers to cement a glorious Union like this and still allow the Slates to be free. Now, wherein consists the free dom of a State? You will all agree that a State would not be free if somebody outside were permitted to come in and say who should be Governor, who elect ed to Congress, who elected to the Leg islature, who elected sheriffs and consta bles. Then, if there be nobody outside a free. State who has the power to say what men shall be elected to oilloo, neither Is there anybody who shall say who are to be made electors; because, if you will give mo tho right to say who shall vote, I will very quickly toll you who shall be elected. In thjs country those who vote arc in the habit of electing theollieers; and for persons outside to say who shall have the right of suffrage is another way of saying that outsiders may dictate who shall bo elected to olHce. I repeat that we have nothing whatever to do with that question. Tho States of this Union aro free States. AVe have a central Gov ernment, and to it have been delegated certain powers carefully laid down and enumerated in the Constitution. It is just as if a dozen gentlemen hero were to meet together to form a partnership ; rules aro laid down, articles of copartnership aro entered into. How long do you thh|k such a partnership would bo likely to last if one member was allowed to say, I will manage matters all my own way, and an other allowed to say, I will have more than my share of the profits? So it is with this nation, AA r o have agreed under tho Constitution upon our terms of co partnership. AVe stand upon these terms. We not only say we will remain in the Union but that we will compel any re fractory member of it also to rental n—to stand just as the Constitution makes them stand. [A voice “ AVe will make them stand.’’] Yes that’s it. I always like to get a little good hard English in. [Laugh tor.] AVell, who opposes this doctrine? They say they are a Union party. Tho Union party fellows who say they aro for the Union but will not have it. Is not that a singular Union party? Is it not play ing Union party- with the Union left out? Is it not a repetition of tho play of Ham let with Hamlet loft out? But they arc abusive fellows too. Just as my friend here said if you want a Union upon the basis on which it was con structed ; if you propose to stand upon tlie agreement which was made, they say no, you are a Copperhead. If you do not want to kill all the women and children in the South, they say you are a seeesh, you are a rebel. Did ever anybody hear of such scold? A groat many people have thought that Lincoln - was a better na lurod man than Johnson. It has occur red to me that after listening for three or four years to the abuse ofthese people, he would have been disposed to have placed VOL 52.—N0. 4T. them upon the cooking-stool. There was a custom in old England, that when a woman acquired a hahit of scolding be yond endurance, she was placed upon a stool called a cooking-stool, and there she sal, the object of the jeers and derision of boys, and sometimes of those who ought to have known better. These people cannot keep pence with anybody. They cannot agree with any body. If you could only put them into a pen* by themselves the fate of the Kilken ny cats would be theirs. There would be nothing left in a short time ,but a few tails lying about over the lloor. They will not have Union now because they do not want it; and why? I will tell you. They have behaved so outrageously dur ing the last four years, so overbearing, as if they had all the patriotism in their bel ly, that they know very well that the peo ple of the tioulh cannot love them —that is utterly impossible. They never had any charity for those people", and having gone into rebellion, they would see men, women, and children, loyal and disloyal, ■all go to the same bottom. It was not the fault of the people of the South that the rebellion came. A majority of the southern people were not for it, and if this Government had done its duty and put down the rebellion in its inception, there would have been no war. [“ That's so.”] But here you had (.'engross lighting at one end of the avenue, just as they are lighting, now. You had a President at the other end of the avenue wanting to do one thing and Congress another, and while they were engaged lighting each other, the Southern propagandists and Knights of the Golden Circle were left free to act with no force to oppose them, and what could the people do? What do these people at (ho Capitol propose to do now To inllict their punishment upon the innocent instead of the guilty. They say yon ran not restore (he Union now. Why ? Because rebels will got hack to Congress. Well suppose they do come is there no way of keeping them out ? If a man comes here claiming a seat in Con gress who isa rebel.a traitor, a leader who incited the poople-To rebellion, would there be no way to avert the terrible ca lamity ofliis taking a seat in Congress ? I would not find any dllieulty in preventing it. t would not ask tile President or Con gress how to keep him out. I would lake out a warrent and arrest him under the law. If he were a traitor 1 would have him arrested and punished. I would let the courts, the marshals and the juries do their work ; and after you have hung a man as a traitor he would not trouble you much about getting into Congress, [Laughter and cheers.] Oh, no, they do not want the Union or law restored, they want something else. What was the proposition they introduced into Congress the other day? They said : “ Let us for give these people down South." Well, suppose you do. What will be required in return? Let the negro vote. That is about the whole of it. These red-handed traitors cun come back if you will let the negro vote. They will swop oil'the right to punish the criminal, if you will only give them the vole of the negro, lint, you may ask, why do they want the negro to vote? Because if you allow the negro to vote he will vote for us. [Excessive laugh ter.] and there is nobody else down there who will. [Continued daughter.] We have behaved toward the white people so outrageously that there is not one of them who loves us. That is the whole secret of it. Ido not see any dillicully upon that point, 1 have no personal animosity against anybody down there, ami there is no reason for indulging in any such feeling, except so far as those people keep it up, But that is the explanation of the whole matter. There are two or three gentlemen —it has become so exceedingly unpopular to name anybody that I will not say who they are—l do not want to throw the car casses of dead dogs into that assembly. [“ How about the dead duck."] 1 do not mention anybody; hut there isa man, and hero are four oy' live millions of people down there, not one of whom loves that man. Then he is dead. No man can be hated by four or live millions of people without being dead. Think bfit. Tshould dislike monstrously to bo hated by two or three little boys in this crowd, and how much more by four or live millions of mciij women and children. They are determined this Union shall not lie re stored so long as these people hate -them, and they have no more hope of a change in that respect than you have. i)o you suppose they care about the negro ? They know the negro never can ho brought iii contact with white people and compete with them. They know just as well as wo know that we'are.stronger, richerand more powerful than he, and that he can not compete with us in any of the great business transactions with which we are brought in contact. But admit, if you please, that he is stronger than you are and wiser, still this is not hiscountry ;it isyourcouulry. He is here a kind of a stranger. Von cannot eat with him, drink with him, sleep with him, or marry with him. [Laughterand cheers.] Isay, then, that no iriie friend of the colored man will bring him face to face with the while man in any struggle ill which wo may bo engaged. Why should ho bo brought thoro'.’ it is imi.io expose him to your greater strength and power. Then * why should lie vole? What good would Jvoting do him ? lie has either got to have a party of his own, or else to mix himself with two or three of your parties. If he had a party and the majority, do you think lie would elect any white man toolUeo'. 1 [A voice, “Hu would elect a radical!"] Not by any means. He would not touch them with a ton-fooi polo. Sam is n good deal too sharp for that. — He understands too well how ho has been used for years as a hobby for them to ride into ollice, if he ever gets them oil'to ever allow himself to take them on again.— [Laughter,] Go into Liberia, where lie lias a ooulry of liis own, and see whether lie will permit any while man to vote there. Not at all; his constitution says that ndbody shall vote unless he lias African blood in his veins. Why? IJe eanso he does not. want to expose' yon to the defeat of coming into eomp'eletion with his suprior race. [Laughter.] lam a friend of ins. T have proieemd him very often, and it is because I am a friend that I say is a shame to undertake to bring these innocent people into such diilicultics and defeat, as will.inevitably follow, being brought into contact anil computation with (lie white race. The negro is one of (lie happiest dogs in tlie world. Give him a cabin in a corn held and DiXAir to love, and lie docs not care about polities. Not a hit. As 1 said be fore, the only dilliculty about restoring the Union is in this party which is not a party after all. The radicals never had a party. 1 was years ago an old Whig, and they were always anoying us. Those abolitionists did nothing but scold and llnd fault with everybody. .The Whig party was rather more favorable to them than the Democratic party, but they said, “ No, no, we must have a" whole loaf or no broad.” And when wo wanted to elect Cuay, they stuck up a candidate of their own. [A ro/cc—llirney.] Vos, that was the man. They got a j few thousand votes for him—enough to ; defeat Clay, and that was all it came to. ; Then when the war eamelon they came out very strongly. They went to work, and what did they do ? ' Staid at homo, scolded, and made trouble among our own people. Very few of them went to ADVERTISING TERMS.

The* men who fought went in to the contest fort lie Constitution and (he laws, and not upon any hobby or scheme ot retorni, to turn a - black man into a white man, or anything of that sort.— They lought tortile Hag, and they wore the men who did tho lighting. Huithese follows wore exceedingly jealous. They were very enthusiastic, made speeches, wrote pamphlets, and all that sort of tiling. OCcourse there was no objection to that, nothing wrong in U. Xow that the war is over they say they have abolished slavery. "Why gentlemen, they never abolished anything. [Laugh ter.] They never .abolished slavery, nor anything else that ever I hoard of, unless, perhaps,- the use of common sense by themselves. Perhaps they may abolish themselves one of these days. The men they have abused a hundred timesare the men who abolished slavery. The slave holders themselves did tenfold more to abolish it than they. If the slaveholders bail been satisfied to allow matters tore main quiet, they would have had their slaves to-day. U would, have been im possible to ovcrthiow slavery. Put they united with the politicians *in the war, and it was the soldier who abolished slavery, not the spoochmakcr, or the proclamation-maker, who parades him self hero as the person who lias accom plished it. Well, now, slavery is abolish ed, nnd what more do yon want Kvery thing these people want, when you bring them down to ttie point, is t hat the negro shall,vote. They pretend they want to give him civil rights. We have given him nil the civil rights wo have. We never stipulated to go to (he extent of overturning a Slate to give him rights. We broke the fetter from the slave and left him just like one of us, free to go where he pleased. If he did not like his master in the District ol Columbia heconld go to Maryland, ll he did not like Maryland lie could go to Pennsylvania, ju-t as I would go, and 1 might he -o hard pushed under ecriain circumstances as to go to Ma-saehiisetts, [Laughter.] I film negro is not in tin right Stale he may go where he pleases, ami that is personal liberty. It is the liberty we have conferred upon the black man, and a thing of whirl! I am proud. But I will not go to the extent of over turning tiu* liberty of the Stales ami cen tralizing this tiovernmenl, putting the whole power in (he hands of Congress ami the President here to he wielded for improper purposes. I resist it now as I have always. As I saiil before, a gentleman has intro duced it proposition which says : " Von may do just what you please, provided you give us political power and let the negro vole." They introduced a proposi tion the othgr day, in which they said ; “If. you give up the right to fifteen orsix teeen members of Congress, you may do what yon please. We do not care any thing about negro rights or negro suf frage." The proposition now is, if you will let the negro vole that will leave us a chance to continue our political power. That- L about as near the substance of the propo sition as I can state it. [A voice “It is near enough.”] Do you know that we arestruggling for the greatest slake in the world? . tieutle mcn say they will hold these people as a conquered people. What do you want to do with them? If you were a monarchy oran aristocracy, you might find it to your advantage hut as a republic will you he any hetlerollTor it ? Is not (bethought itself wicked anil atrocious if it were pos sible of execution ? The inhabitants of those Stale are of our blood, of our kith and kill. They are your cousins, your brot hers, your I r lends, your re la I ions.'and do you suppose they can be held long as a conquered peojde? In this war, when we were right and they were wrong, what a terrible struggle it was. Did you not have misgivings ns to the result' up even to the day? Then, when it hap pens that they are right and you arc wrong which side will find cm', (.ienllemen, we must conciliate, restore and harmonize those people. We must forget our diUbronee in the past and en deavor to live in peace and harmony as one people. 1 say it is the greatest stake for which any people ever struggled.— This is the greatest llcpiiblic the world has ever seen by far, if we cun maintain it in its integrity. Do you suppose we would be in the smallest danger from France, England, or any other nation if we are restored and stand together as brethren and American citizens ? Not a particle. But. let the Botomac river be the dividing line that shall cut oil' eleven States from the Union, deprive them of their rights, and will they light for you? when the time comes, and the time'may come to-morrow, who will they tight for to-day if there is trouble? Will it be for the radicals? ["No no.”] I tell yon, gentlemen, there is one man in this" na tion who is Hie great bond of Union, and that is your President. [Great enthusi asm.] They will light for him; and why? Simply because when 1 hey wi re conquer ed he treated I hem as a generous man would, He did not kick and cult' and ajmsc them. Ho .-aid it is all over. ' Let us he friends and have more sen-e next time. That is the propor way lo do. It is the only way frank, honesi, liberal,hu man men would (rent a falfcn'toe. Suppose you treat them otherwise, and a \\ arwilh ICugland or I’ranee should iveur, they would keep tile blockade open : ami if they fought against.us, where would this Union he? They have half a million of as good tighliug men as Ihci'e are in the world, and eouhl we go into a war with such an odds? Would, not our -oldiers say; We have conquered llio.-i*. people once; have brought them hack into the Union, and if we bring them hack again, will you lie any nearer a settlement after another war than now? J cannot see how you could carry on another war un der these circumstances. The dictates of wisdom arc Unit yon admit them at once; that vou take them hack and let us have one common republic once more, the greatest, as I have said, upon which the sou evershoue. ’ Now, fellow-citizens, 1 have addressed you longer than I intended. An old fel low —a Greek, 1 believe—once said that that a great many people could commence a speech, hut very few could end one. 1 thank you for your kind and respectful attention? I have great hopes when I look over this lialf-aeeror more upturned faces that we will yet see this great Ue pnblie 1 have described preserved for the future. lam proud lo say lo yon.that, according to my he-t judgement, your present President is the man for' the work. [Applause.] Trust him, and lie will not fail you. Ho will do tlie 1 work quietly and gentlemanly, as a man and a gentleman should do. “ Motul'i: ! mother I send me for the doctor, quick !” ‘‘ Why so, my son ? what is the matter “’Cause the bald headed man in the parlor is going to die ?” “ (/uhir/ in rli, Hle.-s my soul! what do yon mean “I heerd him say he'd die, sure, it sister Nellie wouldn’t 'marry him and Nellie said she ico:il(i,i’t, not even to save his life !” KotmtiT, JlfKN’s was once taken to task by a young Edinburg blood, with whom he was walking, for recognizing an honest farmer in the open street. “It was not,” said tlie poet, “the great coal, the scone hound,-hoot-hose that 1 spoke to, but the mau, sir, lor true would weigh down you mid me, and ton more such auy day."
